On Day 2 of our trip (Saturday) we first did an out of the way hike that a local told us about. It was north out of Mariposa but not quite as far as Hites Cove. In this hike we were much closer to the Merced River and there were some nice wildflowers. We also let Wookie off his leash so he could run around and be silly. When it started to warm up he began to run from shady spot to shady spot and then waiting for us to catch up. When we would catch up to him he would then get up and run to the next shady sport and promptly lay down again. After our hike we got cleaned up and then headed into Yosemite. We drove around the valley area and took a few pictures before heading up to the road to Glacier Point. When we got there the entire road was closed which was a real bummer. So we parked and then hiked up the road a ways with Wookie. After that hike we went down to Curry Village and had some pizza and beer. After dinner and on our way out of Yosemite we stopped in a few spots to take night time photos of the granite and waterfalls. The moon was nearly full and the sky was clear, but it was difficult to get clear shots at the landmarks because of all the smoke rising from campfires. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it was like a fog. Unbelievable. At any rate I think we got a few good shots which I will post later and talk about in more detail.
